Ok seriously is this selfish?

My birthday is in 6 days and Mother's Day is in 9. I was born on Mother's Day and ever since becoming a mom I have just always combined the two simply because it's easier on everyone. My dh (dear husband) doesn't mind it and he always gets me two gifts so I get one for my birthday and the other for Mother's Day. I called my mom the other day and we were talking about celebrating and I told her that I would so what I always did and celebrate them together. She got so mad and said I was selfish? I don't understand how I could be, that seems pretty unselfish if you ask me but she got really mad and bent out of shape about it. She's so mad she won't answer my texts and told my oldest sister to tell me not to talk to her right now! Ugh my mom is prone to these kind of outbursts, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder a few years back so I know that's why she freaked out. She tells my sister that she will not speak to me again unless I seperate the two and have them on the correct days. Not quite sure what to do here, help?!??
